The Toilette is a 1896 unspecified by Mary Cassatt, a Impressionism work, depicting Bathing, held at Brooklyn Museum.
In this painting, a woman is shown from behind, standing in front of a dresser with a mirror. She is wearing a striped skirt and has her head down, looking into a bowl of water in the sink. The room is decorated with a blue floor and a white dresser, and there is a white pitcher on the floor. The woman's body is partially visible, and her hair is dark and short. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of quiet intimacy, as if the viewer has stumbled upon a private moment. The painting invites the viewer to explore the world of Mary Cassatt, an American artist known for her portraits of women and children.
